Rivermouth at Avellanas
Edit SpotAbout
I like the spot and plan to surf it again.
Atmosphere:
As with any spot it depends heavily on what type of surfers are out there surfing with you.
It is a beatiful spot to surf, the water is clean and the views are awesome.
Additional Info:
Find the current to the left of the break for an easier paddle out.
It can get crowded, catch your share and share a few with your brothers.
The wave speed depends on the size and tide and can be slow or fastm mushy or hollow but when the rest of Avellanas is small the rivermouth may have something.
